+THE SONG OF THE FLAG.
+
+
+I.
+
+    Up with the country's flag!
+    And let the winds caress it, fold on fold,--
+    A stainless flag, and glorious to behold!
+    It is our honour's pledge;
+    It is the token of a truth sublime,
+    A thing to die for, and to wonder at,
+    When, on the shuddering edge
+    Of some great storm, it waves its woven joy,
+    Which no man shall destroy,
+    In shine or shower, in peace or battle-time.
+    Up with the flag!
+    The winds are wild to toss it, and to brag
+    Of England's high renown,--
+    And of the throne where Chivalry has sat
+    Acclaimed in bower and town
+    For England's high renown!--
+    And of these happy isles where men are free
+    And masters of the sea,
+    The million-mouthëd sea,
+    That calls to us from shore to furthest shore--
+    That fought for us of yore,--
+    The thunder-throated, foam-frequented sea
+    That sounds the psalm of Victory evermore!
+
+
+II.
+
+    For England's sake to-day,--
+    And for this flag of ours which, to the blast,
+    Unfurls, in proud array,
+    Its glittering width of splendour unsurpassed,--
+    For England's sake,
+    For our dear Sovereign's sake,--
+    We cry all shame on traitors, high and low,
+    Whose word let no man take,
+    Whose love let no man seek throughout the land,--
+    Traitors who strive, with most degenerate hand,
+    To bring about our country's overthrow!
+
+
+III.
+
+    The sun reels up the sky, the mists are gone,
+    And overhead the lilting bird of dawn
+    Has spread, adoring-wise, as for a prayer,
+    Those wondrous wings of his,
+    Which never yet were symbols of despair!
+    It is the feathery foeman of the night
+    Who shakes adown the air
+    Song-scented trills and sunlit ecstasies.
+    Aye! 'tis the lark, the chorister in gray,
+    Who sings hosannas to the lord of light,
+    And will not stint the measure of his lay
+    As hour to hour, and joy to joy, succeeds;
+    For he's the morning-mirth of English meads,
+    And we who mark the moving of his wings,
+    We know how sweet the soil whereof he sings,--
+    How glad the grass, how green the summer's thrall,
+    How like a gracious garden the dear Land
+    That loves the ocean and the tossed-up sand
+    Whereof the wind has made a coronal;
+    And how, in spring and summer, at sun-rise,
+    The birds fling out their raptures to the skies,
+    And have the grace of God upon them all.
+
+
+IV.
+
+    Up with the flag!
+    Up, up, betimes, and proudly speak of it;
+    A lordly thing to see on tower and crag,
+    O'er which,--as eagles flit,
+    With eyes a-fire, and wings of phantasy,--
+    Our memories hang superb!
+    The foes we frown upon shall feel the curb
+    Of our full sway; and they shall shaméd be
+    Who wrong, with sword or pen,
+    The Code that keeps us free.
+    For there's no sight, in summer or in spring,
+    Like our great standard-pole,
+    When round about it ring
+    The cheers of Britons, bounden, heart and soul,
+    To deeds of duty, dear to Englishmen;
+    And he who serves it has a name to see
+    On Victory's muster-roll;
+    And he who loves it not, how vile is he!
+    For 'tis the Land's delight,--
+    Our ocean-wonder, blue and red and white;
+    Blue as the skies, and red as roses are,
+    And white as foam that flashed at Trafalgŕr;
+    The Land's delight!
+    The badge and test of right,
+    Girt with its glory like a guiding-star!
+
+
+V.
+
+    The wind has roared in English many a time,
+    And foes have heard it on the frothy main,
+    In doom and danger and in battle-pain;
+    And yet again may hear,
+    In many a sea-ward, sun-enamoured clime;
+    For all the hearts of traitors ache with fear
+    When our great ships go forth, as heretofore,
+    Full-arméd from the shore,--
+    And Boreas bounds exultant on the seas,
+    To bid the waves of these,--
+    The subject-waves of England and the Isles,--
+    Out-leap for miles and miles,
+    As loud as lions loosed on enemies!
+
+
+VI.
+
+    Oh, may no mean surrender of the rights
+    Of our ancestral swords,
+    Which made our fathers pioneers and lords,
+    And victors in the fights,--
+    May no succession of the days and nights
+    Find us or ours at fault,
+    Or careless of our fame, our island-fame,
+    Our sea-begotten fame,--
+    And no true Briton halt
+    In his allegiance to the Victory-name
+    Which is the name we bow to in our thought,
+    Where English deeds are wrought,
+    In lands that love the languors of the sun,
+    And where the stars have sway,
+    And where the moon is marvelled at for hours!
+    The flags of nations are the ocean-flowers,
+    And ours the dearest, ours the brightest one,
+    That ever shimmered on the watery way
+    Which patriots call to mind
+    When they remember isles beyond the dawn
+    Where our sea-children dwell.
+    For there's no flag afloat upon the wind
+    Can wave so high, or show so fair a front,
+    Or gleam so proudly in the battle-brunt,
+    Or tell a tale of conquest half so well
+    As this we doat upon!
+
+
+VII.
+
+    The storm is our ally, the raging sea
+    Is our adherent, and, to make us free,
+    A thousand times the full-tongued hurricane
+    Has bellowed forth its menace o'er the deep;
+    And when dissensions sleep,
+    When sleep the wrought-up rancours of the age
+    We shall again inscribe, and yet again,
+    On History's glowing page
+    The story of the flag,--
+    For 'twas our Nelson's flag
+    Which none in all the world shall put to shame,
+    Or vilify, or blame,--
+    The story of the glory of the flag
+    Which waved at Waterloo,
+    And was, from first to last, the symbol true
+    Of Wellington's pure fame!
+
+
+VIII.
+
+    High, high the flag, for England's sake and ours,
+    Who know its vested powers,
+    And what it means, in war time, and in peace
+    When fierce dissensions cease,--
+    High, high the flag of England over all
+    Which nought but good befall!
+    High let it wave, in triumph, as a sign
+    Of Freedom's right divine,--
+    Its glorious folds out-fluttering in the gale,
+    Again to tell the tale
+    Of deeds heroic, wrought at Duty's call!
+    The wind's our trumpeter; and east and west,
+    And north and south, all day, as on a quest
+    Of mirth and marvel,--all the live-long day
+    It bears the news about
+    Of all we do and dare, in our degree,
+    And all the land's great shout,
+    And all the pomp and pageant of the Sea!

+
+LOVE LETTERS OF A VIOLINIST
+
+By ERIC MACKAY
+
+LONDON: LAMLEY & CO., EXHIBITION ROAD, S.W.
+
+
+"'LOVE LETTERS OF A VIOLINIST.'--Letters to make the ordinary writer
+envious, and to awaken in lovers thanks to the poetical pen that has
+given forth utterances so suited to their good health or malady. Here a
+verse to cheer the almost hopeless; a stanza to teach the refraining a
+lesson in charge and capture; lines to fall in love with the memory, to
+charm the darkness, and be another light to rule the day. London was
+yawning behind her giant hand. The moment was propitious, and any strain
+of beauty was sure of an audience. At this felicitous moment a pipe of
+splendour sounded. London ceased to yawn. A violinist was communicating
+the passions of his heart to those who would listen, and amid great
+interest he went from house to house a-singing.... Eric Mackay is one of
+those wise men who have no immature volumes to haunt them. He first
+asked right of way on the road to Parnassus with a bundle of melodies
+which have never lost their appeal. While youth seeks the pink cheek,
+these Love Letters will command the homage of lovers. Your Petrarchs are
+not as common as sparrows.... These outpourings from a burning heart
+will always compel the student of our literature to weigh them, sift
+them, and establish them in some very honourable position. The charm of
+this early book is its freedom from drag. It moves on always. The reader
+is hastened along; he has wonderful and unexpected views, which ravish
+him as the abrupt magnificences of the Pyrenees ravished Gautier.
+Perhaps you expect a tree, but you see a stream. Now, at last, it must
+be a great green hill, and behold! you peep down into an echoless mossy
+depth of glen. At the next break in the quick, up towers a height of
+fancy and simile! Thus the everlasting surprise goes on enchanting. From
+wild to wild, from passion to passion, from cavern to star, are we
+borne, and as we travel there is music about us--music of the true tone,
+ringing with all the natural pathos of lyrical carelessness. There have
+been instances in literature of the music mastering the thought, but in
+the case under notice the proportions are justly ministered to. There is
+thought and witchery of measure. The ice of craftsmanship is mingled
+with the wine of passion."--NORMAN GALE, in _The Literary World_, March
+10th, 1893.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"We are indebted to Eric Mackay for the latest ode to the lark, one of
+peculiar gracefulness and impassioned beauty. In my opinion, this is a
+better production than either of Wordsworth's, superior to Hogg's, and,
+though not so intellectual as Shelley's, rivals it in truth. Mackay's is
+the lark itself, Shelley's is himself listening, with unwearied ears and
+tightly-stretched imagination, to the lark. Who is surprised that Eric
+Mackay's lyric, 'The Waking of the Lark,' sent a thrill through the
+heart of America? This poem, which appeared in the _New York
+Independent_, is undoubtedly the lark-poem of the future. From the
+opening to the closing stanza there is not an imperfect verse, not a
+commonplace. The sentiment is pure, and the fancy glowing. It is,
+indeed, an exquisite ode."--_Wintringham's_ "_Birds of Wordsworth._"
+Edition, 1892.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"He (the lecturer) ventured to call the author of the 'Love Letters' a
+new poet. His published volume is a work of immense promise. His fancy
+is splendid.... The 'Love Letters' are twelve poems, separate, and yet
+intrinsically one. It is a compound lyric, with an epic theme and
+somewhat of an epic cast. The theme is the triumph of woman's love. It
+is the story of love's redemption. It has something of the tone, colour,
+and luxuriance of Solomon's Song; both, too, have the same theme,
+though treated in a different way.... The form is charming--as if the
+sonatas of Beethoven had been translated into poetry! The _dénouement_
+is reached when Beethoven himself--
+
+    'The giant-singer who did storm the gates
+    Of Heaven and Hell'--
+
+is introduced in a vision. The lecturer gave a number of quotations to
+illustrate his points."--_Lecture on_ ERIC MACKAY, _by the Rev. Elvet
+Lewis, at the Hull Literary Institute._
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"The 'Love Letters' of Eric Mackay are the handiwork of a brilliant
+metrical artist and poet born.... A beautiful and passionate work; its
+beauty that of construction, language, imagery,--its passion,
+characteristic of the artistic nature, and, while intensely human, free
+from any taint of vulgar coarseness.... The poem is quite original, its
+manner Elizabethan.... Eric Mackay is a lyrist with a singing faculty
+and a novel metrical form such as few lyrists have at command. With the
+very striking poem of 'Mary Arden,' we have at last something new said
+of Shakespeare, and it is said sweetly and imaginatively."--E. C.
+STEDMAN, in "_Victorian Poets_," 21st Edition, 1893.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p class="hd4">LOVE LETTERS</p>
+<p class="hd5">OF A VIOLINIST</p>
+
+<p class="hd2"><span class="fxl">By ERIC MACKAY</span></p>
+
+<p class="hd1"><span class="smcap">London: Lamley &amp; Co., Exhibition Road, S.W.</span></p>
+</div>
+
+<p>"'<span class="smcap">Love Letters of a Violinist.</span>'&mdash;Letters to make the ordinary
+writer envious, and to awaken in lovers thanks to the poetical pen
+that has given forth utterances so suited to their good health or
+malady. Here a verse to cheer the almost hopeless; a stanza to teach
+the refraining a lesson in charge and capture; lines to fall in love with
+the memory, to charm the darkness, and be another light to rule the
+day. London was yawning behind her giant hand. The moment was
+propitious, and any strain of beauty was sure of an audience. At this
+felicitous moment a pipe of splendour sounded. London ceased to
+yawn. A violinist was communicating the passions of his heart to
+those who would listen, and amid great interest he went from house
+to house a-singing.... Eric Mackay is one of those wise men
+who have no immature volumes to haunt them. He first asked right
+of way on the road to Parnassus with a bundle of melodies which have
+never lost their appeal. While youth seeks the pink cheek, these
+Love Letters will command the homage of lovers. Your Petrarchs
+are not as common as sparrows.... These outpourings from a
+burning heart will always compel the student of our literature to weigh
+them, sift them, and establish them in some very honourable position.
+The charm of this early book is its freedom from drag. It moves
+on always. The reader is hastened along; he has wonderful and
+unexpected views, which ravish him as the abrupt magnificences of
+the Pyrenees ravished Gautier. Perhaps you expect a tree, but you
+see a stream. Now, at last, it must be a great green hill, and behold!
+you peep down into an echoless mossy depth of glen. At the next
+break in the quick, up towers a height of fancy and simile! Thus the
+everlasting surprise goes on enchanting. From wild to wild, from
+passion to passion, from cavern to star, are we borne, and as we travel
+there is music about us&mdash;music of the true tone, ringing with all the
+natural pathos of lyrical carelessness. There have been instances in
+literature of the music mastering the thought, but in the case under
+notice the proportions are justly ministered to. There is thought and
+witchery of measure. The ice of craftsmanship is mingled with the
+wine of passion."&mdash;<span class="smcap">Norman Gale</span>, in <i>The Literary World</i>, March
+10th, 1893.</p>
+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>"We are indebted to Eric Mackay for the latest ode to the lark,
+one of peculiar gracefulness and impassioned beauty. In my opinion,
+this is a better production than either of Wordsworth's, superior to
+Hogg's, and, though not so intellectual as Shelley's, rivals it in truth.
+Mackay's is the lark itself, Shelley's is himself listening, with unwearied
+ears and tightly-stretched imagination, to the lark. Who is surprised
+that Eric Mackay's lyric, 'The Waking of the Lark,' sent a thrill
+through the heart of America? This poem, which appeared in the
+<i>New York Independent</i>, is undoubtedly the lark-poem of the future.
+From the opening to the closing stanza there is not an imperfect verse,
+not a commonplace. The sentiment is pure, and the fancy glowing.
+It is, indeed, an exquisite ode."&mdash;<i>Wintringham's</i> "<i>Birds of Wordsworth.</i>"
+Edition, 1892.</p>
+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>"He (the lecturer) ventured to call the author of the 'Love Letters'
+a new poet. His published volume is a work of immense promise.
+His fancy is splendid.... The 'Love Letters' are twelve poems,
+separate, and yet intrinsically one. It is a compound lyric, with an
+epic theme and somewhat of an epic cast. The theme is the triumph
+of woman's love. It is the story of love's redemption. It has something
+of the tone, colour, and luxuriance of Solomon's Song; both,
+too, have the same theme, though treated in a different way....
+The form is charming&mdash;as if the sonatas of Beethoven had been
+translated into poetry! The <i>d&eacute;nouement</i> is reached when Beethoven
+himself&mdash;</p>

+
+<p class="noin">is introduced in a vision. The lecturer gave a number of quotations to
+illustrate his points."&mdash;<i>Lecture on</i> <span class="smcap">Eric Mackay</span>, <i>by the Rev. Elvet
+Lewis, at the Hull Literary Institute.</i></p>
+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>"The 'Love Letters' of Eric Mackay are the handiwork of a
+brilliant metrical artist and poet born.... A beautiful and
+passionate work; its beauty that of construction, language, imagery,&mdash;its
+passion, characteristic of the artistic nature, and, while intensely
+human, free from any taint of vulgar coarseness.... The poem
+is quite original, its manner Elizabethan.... Eric Mackay
+is a lyrist with a singing faculty and a novel metrical form such as few
+lyrists have at command. With the very striking poem of 'Mary
+Arden,' we have at last something new said of Shakespeare, and it is
+said sweetly and imaginatively."&mdash;<span class="smcap">E. C. Stedman</span>, in "<i>Victorian Poets</i>,"

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+THE SONG OF THE FLAG.
+
+
+I.
+
+    Up with the country's flag!
+    And let the winds caress it, fold on fold,--
+    A stainless flag, and glorious to behold!
+    It is our honour's pledge;
+    It is the token of a truth sublime,
+    A thing to die for, and to wonder at,
+    When, on the shuddering edge
+    Of some great storm, it waves its woven joy,
+    Which no man shall destroy,
+    In shine or shower, in peace or battle-time.
+    Up with the flag!
+    The winds are wild to toss it, and to brag
+    Of England's high renown,--
+    And of the throne where Chivalry has sat
+    Acclaimed in bower and town
+    For England's high renown!--
+    And of these happy isles where men are free
+    And masters of the sea,
+    The million-mouthed sea,
+    That calls to us from shore to furthest shore--
+    That fought for us of yore,--
+    The thunder-throated, foam-frequented sea
+    That sounds the psalm of Victory evermore!
+
+
+II.
+
+    For England's sake to-day,--
+    And for this flag of ours which, to the blast,
+    Unfurls, in proud array,
+    Its glittering width of splendour unsurpassed,--
+    For England's sake,
+    For our dear Sovereign's sake,--
+    We cry all shame on traitors, high and low,
+    Whose word let no man take,
+    Whose love let no man seek throughout the land,--
+    Traitors who strive, with most degenerate hand,
+    To bring about our country's overthrow!
+
+
+III.
+
+    The sun reels up the sky, the mists are gone,
+    And overhead the lilting bird of dawn
+    Has spread, adoring-wise, as for a prayer,
+    Those wondrous wings of his,
+    Which never yet were symbols of despair!
+    It is the feathery foeman of the night
+    Who shakes adown the air
+    Song-scented trills and sunlit ecstasies.
+    Aye! 'tis the lark, the chorister in gray,
+    Who sings hosannas to the lord of light,
+    And will not stint the measure of his lay
+    As hour to hour, and joy to joy, succeeds;
+    For he's the morning-mirth of English meads,
+    And we who mark the moving of his wings,
+    We know how sweet the soil whereof he sings,--
+    How glad the grass, how green the summer's thrall,
+    How like a gracious garden the dear Land
+    That loves the ocean and the tossed-up sand
+    Whereof the wind has made a coronal;
+    And how, in spring and summer, at sun-rise,
+    The birds fling out their raptures to the skies,
+    And have the grace of God upon them all.
+
+
+IV.
+
+    Up with the flag!
+    Up, up, betimes, and proudly speak of it;
+    A lordly thing to see on tower and crag,
+    O'er which,--as eagles flit,
+    With eyes a-fire, and wings of phantasy,--
+    Our memories hang superb!
+    The foes we frown upon shall feel the curb
+    Of our full sway; and they shall shamed be
+    Who wrong, with sword or pen,
+    The Code that keeps us free.
+    For there's no sight, in summer or in spring,
+    Like our great standard-pole,
+    When round about it ring
+    The cheers of Britons, bounden, heart and soul,
+    To deeds of duty, dear to Englishmen;
+    And he who serves it has a name to see
+    On Victory's muster-roll;
+    And he who loves it not, how vile is he!
+    For 'tis the Land's delight,--
+    Our ocean-wonder, blue and red and white;
+    Blue as the skies, and red as roses are,
+    And white as foam that flashed at Trafalgar;
+    The Land's delight!
+    The badge and test of right,
+    Girt with its glory like a guiding-star!
+
+
+V.
+
+    The wind has roared in English many a time,
+    And foes have heard it on the frothy main,
+    In doom and danger and in battle-pain;
+    And yet again may hear,
+    In many a sea-ward, sun-enamoured clime;
+    For all the hearts of traitors ache with fear
+    When our great ships go forth, as heretofore,
+    Full-armed from the shore,--
+    And Boreas bounds exultant on the seas,
+    To bid the waves of these,--
+    The subject-waves of England and the Isles,--
+    Out-leap for miles and miles,
+    As loud as lions loosed on enemies!
+
+
+VI.
+
+    Oh, may no mean surrender of the rights
+    Of our ancestral swords,
+    Which made our fathers pioneers and lords,
+    And victors in the fights,--
+    May no succession of the days and nights
+    Find us or ours at fault,
+    Or careless of our fame, our island-fame,
+    Our sea-begotten fame,--
+    And no true Briton halt
+    In his allegiance to the Victory-name
+    Which is the name we bow to in our thought,
+    Where English deeds are wrought,
+    In lands that love the languors of the sun,
+    And where the stars have sway,
+    And where the moon is marvelled at for hours!
+    The flags of nations are the ocean-flowers,
+    And ours the dearest, ours the brightest one,
+    That ever shimmered on the watery way
+    Which patriots call to mind
+    When they remember isles beyond the dawn
+    Where our sea-children dwell.
+    For there's no flag afloat upon the wind
+    Can wave so high, or show so fair a front,
+    Or gleam so proudly in the battle-brunt,
+    Or tell a tale of conquest half so well
+    As this we doat upon!
+
+
+VII.
+
+    The storm is our ally, the raging sea
+    Is our adherent, and, to make us free,
+    A thousand times the full-tongued hurricane
+    Has bellowed forth its menace o'er the deep;
+    And when dissensions sleep,
+    When sleep the wrought-up rancours of the age
+    We shall again inscribe, and yet again,
+    On History's glowing page
+    The story of the flag,--
+    For 'twas our Nelson's flag
+    Which none in all the world shall put to shame,
+    Or vilify, or blame,--
+    The story of the glory of the flag
+    Which waved at Waterloo,
+    And was, from first to last, the symbol true
+    Of Wellington's pure fame!
+
+
+VIII.
+
+    High, high the flag, for England's sake and ours,
+    Who know its vested powers,
+    And what it means, in war time, and in peace
+    When fierce dissensions cease,--
+    High, high the flag of England over all
+    Which nought but good befall!
+    High let it wave, in triumph, as a sign
+    Of Freedom's right divine,--
+    Its glorious folds out-fluttering in the gale,
+    Again to tell the tale
+    Of deeds heroic, wrought at Duty's call!
+    The wind's our trumpeter; and east and west,
+    And north and south, all day, as on a quest
+    Of mirth and marvel,--all the live-long day
+    It bears the news about
+    Of all we do and dare, in our degree,
+    And all the land's great shout,
+    And all the pomp and pageant of the Sea!

+
+LOVE LETTERS OF A VIOLINIST
+
+By ERIC MACKAY
+
+LONDON: LAMLEY & CO., EXHIBITION ROAD, S.W.
+
+
+"'LOVE LETTERS OF A VIOLINIST.'--Letters to make the ordinary writer
+envious, and to awaken in lovers thanks to the poetical pen that has
+given forth utterances so suited to their good health or malady. Here a
+verse to cheer the almost hopeless; a stanza to teach the refraining a
+lesson in charge and capture; lines to fall in love with the memory, to
+charm the darkness, and be another light to rule the day. London was
+yawning behind her giant hand. The moment was propitious, and any strain
+of beauty was sure of an audience. At this felicitous moment a pipe of
+splendour sounded. London ceased to yawn. A violinist was communicating
+the passions of his heart to those who would listen, and amid great
+interest he went from house to house a-singing.... Eric Mackay is one of
+those wise men who have no immature volumes to haunt them. He first
+asked right of way on the road to Parnassus with a bundle of melodies
+which have never lost their appeal. While youth seeks the pink cheek,
+these Love Letters will command the homage of lovers. Your Petrarchs are
+not as common as sparrows.... These outpourings from a burning heart
+will always compel the student of our literature to weigh them, sift
+them, and establish them in some very honourable position. The charm of
+this early book is its freedom from drag. It moves on always. The reader
+is hastened along; he has wonderful and unexpected views, which ravish
+him as the abrupt magnificences of the Pyrenees ravished Gautier.
+Perhaps you expect a tree, but you see a stream. Now, at last, it must
+be a great green hill, and behold! you peep down into an echoless mossy
+depth of glen. At the next break in the quick, up towers a height of
+fancy and simile! Thus the everlasting surprise goes on enchanting. From
+wild to wild, from passion to passion, from cavern to star, are we
+borne, and as we travel there is music about us--music of the true tone,
+ringing with all the natural pathos of lyrical carelessness. There have
+been instances in literature of the music mastering the thought, but in
+the case under notice the proportions are justly ministered to. There is
+thought and witchery of measure. The ice of craftsmanship is mingled
+with the wine of passion."--NORMAN GALE, in _The Literary World_, March
+10th, 1893.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"We are indebted to Eric Mackay for the latest ode to the lark, one of
+peculiar gracefulness and impassioned beauty. In my opinion, this is a
+better production than either of Wordsworth's, superior to Hogg's, and,
+though not so intellectual as Shelley's, rivals it in truth. Mackay's is
+the lark itself, Shelley's is himself listening, with unwearied ears and
+tightly-stretched imagination, to the lark. Who is surprised that Eric
+Mackay's lyric, 'The Waking of the Lark,' sent a thrill through the
+heart of America? This poem, which appeared in the _New York
+Independent_, is undoubtedly the lark-poem of the future. From the
+opening to the closing stanza there is not an imperfect verse, not a
+commonplace. The sentiment is pure, and the fancy glowing. It is,
+indeed, an exquisite ode."--_Wintringham's_ "_Birds of Wordsworth._"
+Edition, 1892.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"He (the lecturer) ventured to call the author of the 'Love Letters' a
+new poet. His published volume is a work of immense promise. His fancy
+is splendid.... The 'Love Letters' are twelve poems, separate, and yet
+intrinsically one. It is a compound lyric, with an epic theme and
+somewhat of an epic cast. The theme is the triumph of woman's love. It
+is the story of love's redemption. It has something of the tone, colour,
+and luxuriance of Solomon's Song; both, too, have the same theme,
+though treated in a different way.... The form is charming--as if the
+sonatas of Beethoven had been translated into poetry! The _denouement_
+is reached when Beethoven himself--
+
+    'The giant-singer who did storm the gates
+    Of Heaven and Hell'--
+
+is introduced in a vision. The lecturer gave a number of quotations to
+illustrate his points."--_Lecture on_ ERIC MACKAY, _by the Rev. Elvet
+Lewis, at the Hull Literary Institute._
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"The 'Love Letters' of Eric Mackay are the handiwork of a brilliant
+metrical artist and poet born.... A beautiful and passionate work; its
+beauty that of construction, language, imagery,--its passion,
+characteristic of the artistic nature, and, while intensely human, free
+from any taint of vulgar coarseness.... The poem is quite original, its
+manner Elizabethan.... Eric Mackay is a lyrist with a singing faculty
+and a novel metrical form such as few lyrists have at command. With the
+very striking poem of 'Mary Arden,' we have at last something new said
+of Shakespeare, and it is said sweetly and imaginatively."--E. C.
+STEDMAN, in "_Victorian Poets_," 21st Edition, 1893.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),

+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
